RADIO LIVE 100.6
MARCUS LUSH


I was on Radio Live this morning with breakfast DJ Marcus Lush talking about Andrew Morton's ANGELINA- an unauthorised biography (Harper Collins).

Morton has been criticised in some quarters for being somewhat sensational in his reporting on Angelina's life but let's face it she has had a rather sensational life - born into Hollywood royalty (daughter of Jon Voight), troubled youth, exceptionally sexually active since 14, cutting herself, suicidal, multiple brief marriages, home wrecker, cocaine smoker, anorexic, and then of course a hugely successful actiing career earning $15 million a movie, partnered with Brad Pitt, six children, UN goodwill ambassador, hugely generous donor to childrens' charities, friend of presidents etc etc. It is quite a story about a stunningly beautiful and complex woman, a highly talented actress who is perhaps the number one female celebrity in the world today..

Morton at the end of the book, (which I read in two long sittings - rivetted), provides pages and pages of source material with hundreds of names of people interviewed.
By the way you come away from the book wishing that father and daughter, Voight and Jolie, could finally make up and become friends. They have been squabbling and slanging each other for most of her adult life. Come on guys, life is too short.........
